Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2005-0066

Package names:	   gtk2+, lynx
Summary:           Multiple vulnerabilities
Date:              2005-11-18
Affected versions: Trustix Secure Linux 2.2
                   Trustix Secure Linux 3.0

Package description:
  gtk2+
  The gtk+ package contains the GIMP ToolKit (GTK+), a library for creating
  graphical user interfaces for the X Window System.  GTK+ was originally
  written for the GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) image processing
  program, but is now used by several other programs as well.

  lynx
  Lynx is a text-based Web browser. Lynx does not display any images,but it 
  does support frames, tables and most other HTML tags. Lynx's advantage 
  over graphical browsers is its speed: Lynx starts and exits quickly and 
  swiftly when displaying Web pages.

Problem description:
  gtk2+ < TSL 3.0 >
  - SECURITY Fix: An attacker could create a carefully crafted XPM file
  in such a way that it could cause an application linked with gtk2 to
  execute arbitrary code when the file was opened by a victim.

  The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
  assigned the name CVE-2005-3186.

  - SECURITY Fix: Ludwig Nussel discovered an infinite-loop denial of
  service bug in the way gtk2 processes XPM images. An attacker could
  create a carefully crafted XPM file in such a way that it could cause
  an application linked with gtk2 to stop responding when the file was
  opened by a victim.

  The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
  assigned the name CVE-2005-2975.

  lynx < TSL 2.2 > < TSEL 2 >
  - Security Fix: vade79 has reported a vulnerability in Lynx, which can
  be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. The
  vulnerability is caused due to unspecified configuration and input
  validation errors in the handling of certain URI handlers which
  execute local programs. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary
  commands via the "lynxcgi", "lynxexec", and "lynxprog" URI handlers.

  The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
  assigned the name CVE-2005-2929.
